Bug Description
When trying to set up a new 24.04 installation and use the following commands, you MUST configure postfix even if it is not installed.
sudo -S apt -y install autoconf automake bison build-essential byacc cmake csh curl default-jdk default-jre emacs flex g++ gawk gcc gfortran git ksh libcurl4-
Even using the askubuntu help page about installing it and purging it did not make the bug go away. You have to set up and install postfix to use apt.

I expect that the postfix prompt wouldn't show up like I would see in 22.04.
Only in 24.04 does this happen.

it is important to know that postfix is not installed on my system and yet it still pops up as part of the apt issue.
